Thames Valley Schoolchildren to urge Road Users to be Bike Smart in Tenth Year of Road Safety Banner Competition

23/11/2018

For the tenth year running, promotional products, badges and school uniform specialist Recognition Express in Langley is joining forces with national road safety charity, Brake to hold this popular competition.

Winners will be presented with a large-scale printed banner
featuring their design for display outside their school. In addition, there’s a
high-visibility drawstring bag for every pupil and the child behind the winning
design will be given a special award.

The
2018 campaign aims to encourage all road users to think about how to keep those
on two wheels safe. Over 100 cyclists and motorcyclists are
injured every day on UK roads in collisions that could have been prevented with
more awareness and care.

Paul Mitchell, director of Recognition Express says: “We’ve been
running this competition for ten years because road safety is such an important
issue for everyone. The number of entries we receive rises year on year and the
2018 Bike Smart theme should inspire even more children and schools to take
part. Most children have a bike and will be able to identify with the campaign
and hopefully be more aware of keeping safe as a result. We are really looking forward to seeing the
designs.”
